Phyto Force Hoodia
Hoodia is a succulent plant called Hoodia Gordonii that is native to the Kalahari Desert in Southern Africa. It is sold as a natural appetite suppressant.
In the Kalahari desert Hoodia was used by aboriginal San Bushmen when they embarked on long hunting trips where food was scarce.
Scientists who are now studying the effects of hoodia say that it contains an active compound that the brain may associate with glucose, and this compound tricks your brain into thinking you are full.
Because Hoodia may help cut calorie intake, it could be useful in weight loss programs, provided it is used responsibly. Diet pills and potions always come second to making healthy lifestyle changes, such as eating a varied diet based on whole foods, developing a positive self image, and exercising regularly.
Phytoforce Hoodia is a liquid extract, which can be taken directly on the tongue, or added to a little water.
Note that Hoodia also reduces gastric acid production, so taking it just before eating big meals may aggravate digestion. Caution may also be practiced if you have or are taking medication for diabetes, heart problems, blood thinning purposes, or eating disorders.
Similar Products: Hoodia also comes in capsules from Holistix. Other supplements that may be useful in a weight loss program include Solgar Hydroxy Citrate, and Solar L-Carnitine.
